Ferndale Library: Summer Concert Series
By: Jeff Milo, Circulation Specialist
We sent this column to press just before the recent primary [pub. note: It passed],here voters were asked to support a millage increase that would expand the Ferndale Library’s operating hours, and enhance services. Perhaps you’re reading this after a successful campaign, in which case you will find us grateful and ready to further strengthen and upgrade sever-al aspects of our service, including programming and computer access, along with more hours. We’d be sad to say that more cuts could be on the horizon should this millage have failed. Regardless, let it never be in doubt that we are unwaveringly devoted to serving the City of Ferndale, and strengthening this community by providing access to materials and services that inform, enrich, entertain and empower.
Concert Aug 23: Now how about some enriching entertainment; there’s a concert coming up on August 23. Our annual three-part Summer Concert Series brings top-tier local artists and talented touring songwriters
(from all around Michigan) into the library for special weeknight performances that music lovers of all ages can enjoy, whether they get up close to the performers in our community room or if they are catching the strains of beautiful music streaming into the library’s main floor to sound-track your studying or latest read.
Trois Bouffons will perform a free concert at 6:30 P.M. on August 23, to close out this year’s series. This eclectic quartet are able to program a multifaceted musical experience. Based in SE Michigan, Trois Bouffons formed in 2007 to preserve the legacy and over-all charms of French Canadian tradi-tional music. With this library performance, they’ll blend in elements of Delta blues, New Orleans Jazz, Appalachian folk and traditional fiddle music. Fans of vintage styles will sure-ly love this show.
Interim Director: The Board has appointed Darlene Hellenberg as interim Director, taking over as former Director Jessica Keyser takes a new position at the Grosse Pointe Public Library. Darlene has served as the Head of Reference for one year and has been with the Library since 2003. She got her masters in Library Science from Wayne State in 2012. She has administered the annual Ferndale Reads citywide bookclub for six years, along with regularly coordinating a diverse blend of monthly program-ming, from the educational to the entertaining, the literary to the en-lightening. She is as wise and reliable as she is friendly and forthright. The Board anticipates a smooth transition. The process to select a permanent re-placement will begin in late August.
Youth Book Club Update: Youth Book Clubs will be taking a break throughout the rest of August and resume in September. There will be a new book club announced soon, though, which is exciting news.
